How SSS almost stopped my London trip- Ezekwesili

Former Education Minister and leader of the Bringbackourgirls campaign, Dr Oby Ezekwesili almost missed her flight to London Monday morning to appear on a BBC Hard Talk programme following the temporary seizure of her passport by men of the State Security Service (SSS) at the Abuja International Airport.

Ezekwesili whose passport was later released tweeted about her encounter with the SSS.

I see absolutely nothing wrong. Everyday at the airport people are detained or passport seized for further investigation, is anything wrong in doing it to Madam Oby. If she is a patriotic Nigerian, she will see nothing in this. Anyways. She is so unhappy with herself that she exudes unhappiness and now manufactures issues every where she goes. Ride on Oby, You have already taken your turn on this stage and Nigeria is bigger than you.

Madam due process why are you going about seeking for public sympathy and recognition?
First it was bring back our girls as if Good luck Jonathan is in possession of the girls by holding them captive in the Aso Villa.
Now your passport, all i want to tell you is to withdraw yourself from causing more headache to our dear President. I don’t really know who and who is actually using you. Maybe APC.

You have been protesting for the release of Chibok girls but you still didn’t see any wrong in travelling to the UK for whatever reason. Why did you not turn down the BBC request because you were too distressed to travel since the Chibok girls are yet to be released. Why have you not taken the protest to Chibok or Sambisa forest? Why have you not gone on hunger strike till the girls are released? Why have you continued to engage in all your activities when the girls have still not been released or rescued? In spite of all your protests, have they been released? No. Because the process of releasing/rescuing them has to take a systematic approach.

When 52 Americans were held hostage in Iran in 1979, it took 444 days for them to be released.An attempt to rescue them on April 24, 1980 led to the deaths of eight American servicemen, one Iranian civilian, and the destruction of two aircraft. They were later released after serious negotiations. If the Americans were so perfect in everything, why did they not rescue their citizens?

Oby, you have succeeded in politicizing the Chibok abduction and I wonder to what end.

The question I put to you is this, can more than 200 American citizens be held hostage on American soil for more than 90 days? Stop making mockery of great leaders and great nations by comparing them with ours in your desperation to excuse our failures. During election at Ekiti both the minister of defence and his police affairs counterpart relocated to the state with battalions of soldiers to intimidate Ekiti citizens but none ofthem has been to Borno since more than 200 Nigerian girls has been forced companions of some miscreants in Sambisa forest for more than three months! He who feels it knows it and what goes around comes around. My advice for Nigeria is that we should not shy away from discoursing the issue of our oneness. No part of this country is poor and majority of those who insist on one Nigeria are those who benefit directly from its wores. I suggest that we divide peaceully before the madness of the political class will plunge us into a catastrophic war. Oby is a courageous woman. May God be wih her.

To start with, your perfect America got its independence 238 years ago unlike Nigeria which got its own 54 years ago. I am also sure you forgot this your utopian society fought a civil war from 1861 to 1865. As if that is not enough, this your perfect American society you would not want us to make mockery of also caused the latest world economic recession in 2009 and this had been in the making for over 10 years in the same US before the bubble bust in 2009. And this recession cause by this same utopian society as you see the American society barely affected the mockery you call Nigeria in spite of all her imperfections. A bomb attack was reported in Boston during the marathon a year ago while thousands of people were killed during the 9/11 terrors attacks on American soil over a decade ago. At least once a month, we hear of shootings by gunmen in schools in the US. Are these signs of a perfect society? In spite of it all, they have not considered splitting up the country.

You talk about dividing the country peacefully. I am waiting for you to educate us on how that could be achieved because any attempt to divide the country would lead to colossal loss of lives and property. Rather than making effort to evolve home grown solutions to our problems, we have people who are hell bent on causing more confusion, comparing Nigeria with other nations. If your wife compared you with other people’s husbands, I wonder how cool you would feel about that. Or is my analogy inappropriate?

Reason well bro. This children are in d hands of armed terrorists. Ok d us,uk,France & …. Hav been here since,so what’s happening now? It’s not easy,this is a new phenomenon in Nigeria,u don’t xpect our military to perform magic. If I may ask u,where were d almighty Americans when Osama struck? How many years did it take them to get him? My brothers let’s protect our country.

Don,t talk about hunger strike, does she look like somebody that do that hell NO. Now what this woman is doing is pure politics for her chosen party APC, That is all well and good but she should know that she is not convincing anybody. We dont care how many times she appears on Hard Talk, all does people are biased anyway so as to sell thier news.

No, it`s you who knows what politicization means should tell us to what end. If they ask you illiterate GEJ supporters to define the meaning of politicization, I am sure 98% of you don`t know it. If you do tell me how somebody who is of no political affiliation and has of recent publicly accused APC of harboring as much corrupt politicians as PDP be said to be playing politics with Chibok girls abduction. I challenge you hirelings to focus attention on what your paymaster has achieved in his 5yrs in office for Nigerians to decide if he has a biz being in Aso rock a day longer than May 29, 2015 and stop calling every Nigerian who has contrary view on his poor leadership style names and stop playing religion and ethnicity as a drowning president`s last resort.

After all you said about everyone not knowing the meaning of politicization, I expected you to educate us on what it means but alas, you didn’t, probably because you couldn’t or you didn’t know how to put your points through. It is sad to note that people like you find it difficult to know some people could still think outside the box and everyone who is capable of doing so is seen as a GEJ support, a paid advertiser of GEJ or a supporter. And I was accused of calling someone names while you have succeeded in calling me more names. Your case, just like that of APC is that of a kettle always calling the pot black. At the end of your writeup, you have made no contribution to knowledge as you have only ended up blowing so much hot air without achieving anything. I like people who challenge me intellectually, people who give me reasons to think, not people who use so many words and end up passing zero information.

What in the name our democracy now is turning into? Instead
of commending this woman for her selfless service to humanity and for reminding
the govt of her responsibilities, they resorted to harassing her by using the
SSS. What nonsense. May God deliver us from this autocratic govt of the day.

May be they saw something? she is prominent for crying out loud. These things are bound to happen. She is in London now with her big mouth to talk all the trash that she knows and no body will stop her.

What contribution to humanity should she be commended for? Where was she when Obasanjo rolled out the military tanks against Odi and thereby wiping out Odi in 1999 all in a bid to end militancy? Why did she not protest against the Obasanjo regime? Or protests were not in vogue then? And after the invasion of Odi, militancy got worse.

And I am sure until recently, you were in one part of the nation where there is no light, no fuel to power your generator and where you cannot get access to news prints for you to know if the defence minister had gone to Chibok or not. Go ahead and compare Nigeria with the US as people like you are wont to do and then come and tell me how many of their defence ministers went to their crisis regions. Please, next time, challenge us with information we can verify, not side talks.

If i forget, please correct me, is this not madam due process, i believe the security agent were taking due process. why is she crying louder than other women. this is because she was once there in the govt. i hope she is not trying to make us recognize her after so long a time. Ibo woman fronting hausa problem, she feels hausa people will have anything to do with her.

FRIENDS!!!, mtn is in trouble,hey guys here is the latest mtn cheat on board, it works like mad, i have been using it for days now,i,m having 32,380 in my mtn account balance,15gb if you do it with 200 you will get 1.000, 400=2,000 and 750=3750,9gb, note: please dont use 1,500.

I did not see Madam Oby go to the Camp or any church to hold prayers for the release of the Chibok girls. I ask, is this really about the Chibok girls or Madam is looking for popularity since she has been idle all the while she has been out of government. Apparently, since it an election year is coming up, she is steering the waters so she will be seen a an opposition members that must be settle later. What I will say to Madam is this. Is the beauty of Jesus Christ seen in your actions, words and thoughts? God is watching We reap what we sow.

She claims her passport was seized at about 7.37am and later said it was released at 8.03am, less than 30min. During that period the S.S.S seized her passport, she was able to check in and board her flight to the UK. Its really amazing ooo. I have never heard of S.S.S detaining people for less than 30minutes.

I think obys actions are glaringly self serving, you cannot cry more than the bereaved. On the issue of terrorism, I think we as Nigerians need to learn from our Kenyan brothers, who have been experiencing acts of terror long before boko haram yet you don’t hear of protest or its citizens granting self serving interviews or its politicians making inciting comments or it’s media taking advantage of this incidents to make sales. That is why till tomorrow Kenya will still be a preferred tourism destination in Africa not matter how many acts of terror. I will want to advice Nigerians that terrorism should be looked at dispassionately and that our comments should be geared towards finding solutions because every negative comment hurts us even more than we imagine. Remember the world is a global village, we need to paint a better picture of ourselves nobody can do that for us.
